Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Synopsis:

Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares to battle with the First Order.

The second instalment into the third trilogy of the Star Wars franchise, The Last Jedi steps away from the traditional setting (it is the most unique one yet), looking like Star Wars but feeling like something else. As you know, it is always about how everyone still has a choice regardless of Destiny's role in the Star Wars universe.

Rian Johnson finally gave us a proper look into the conflict of conscience Kylo Ren experiences (arguably better that what the prequel movies could have offered in showing the origins of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker). At times Kylo seemed like he was on his way back and then he's back on the dark side again, a broken man devoid of reason as he allows his rage and impulses to drive him and ultimately cloud his judgement. We get to see Rey, curious and inquisitive as ever, searching for answers, even if she will have to go to the dark side to get them, relentlessly seeking a mentor to help her "find her place" in the galaxy and get answers to questions about whatever has been awoken inside of her. Other great sights involve Luke showing his mastery of the force, Leia using the force, Finn and newcomer, Rose enjoy moments of brilliance.

The Last Jedi

There's much that the movie had to offer, however, certain arcs were missing. For example, we didn't get to see enough of Captain Phasma or even her backstory, the identity of Rey's parents hasn't still been revealed even if speculation suggests Iden Versio of Inferno Squad is her mother (entirely accurate if you check the timeline), what would happen to Leia (Carrie Fisher, Rest Her Soul) in the next movie. I'm guessing we will have to wait for answers in the next movie.

Easily a good watch for both old and newcomers to the franchise, even though there'd be a little head scratching to get around some of the events on screen - 8/10

Miscellaneous

The Punisher Review

The Punisher.

Synopsis:

After exacting revenge on the people responsible for the deaths of his wife and children, Frank Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than New York's criminal underworld. Now known as the Punisher, he must dig deep into the conspiracy to discover the truth about injustices that affect more than just him and his family. Assisting the vigilante in his quest to fight criminals are best friend Billy Russo, who runs private military corporation Anvil, and former NSA analyst Micro, who shares common enemies with Castle and helps him as part of a so-called marriage of convenience.

We continue Frank Castles story as he intends to live a normal life and then he is pulled back into a world of chaos he'd so desperately tried to leave behind, discovering that there was more to the killing of his family and the people behind it. The Punisher shines brighter, even more so than the  supposedly bigger street level superheroes in the Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage). Jon Bernthals's performance is top-notch. Some beautifully executed events were the fight scene with the Jazz song in the background and the growing relationship between Frank Castle and David Lieberman. The show didn't make me feel like proper retribution took place, I mean The Punisher's mantra is "No Trials, No Bullshit." It  left so many questions, which would hopefully be answered if it were ever renewed for a second season 

Bottom line, it is so good that it's doing better than it should be, it was a decent telling of Frank Castle's story the previous movies never did well. 8/10

Fire in Fredricton

Fire in Fredricton

Official reports have confirmed that there was a ferocious fire following an explosion in Fredricton area of New Brunswick, Canada last weekend on November 26, 2017. Locals confirmed that first-responders were quick to put out the fire, but it had already claimed a third of the buildings on the block due to its immense intensity. This is one of the largest fires Fredricton has ever faced.

According to police investigation reports, the fire had started at around 2:40 am in the morning after the local rapper by the name of JTK had left his his Mixtape playing overnight in his home studio. The rapper has since been charged for third degree murder, and is currently facing trial in Fredericton's court of Queen's bench.

A few unidentified passerbys had claimed that they had heard a song being played from the building. The song has since been identified by police as "Takeover", which you can listen to here. 

"Such carelessness has resulted in one of the largest fires Fredricton has ever faced, and we cannot allow this repeat itself. We have intel that there are more mixtapes in production by other local rappers and must make sure terminate them all. Projects like this must licensed and done out of town in controlled environments" -- Detective James Doe Anon, New Brunswick Police, Fredericton Division. 

Like many young adults today, JTK is active on social media, and it appears that he had given some hints about his endeavours on November 18, 2017, when he posted a meme about his single "Takeover."

Maybe we should start paying more to what young people post on Social Media today?

Thor Ragnarok Review

Thor Ragnarok

Synopsis:

Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor's quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization.

Thor finds himself in a bind, now returning to Asgard after the events of Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, he comes home to find Asgard and the other realms in imbalance. He takes it upon himself to solve the issues and is surprised find how many secrets have been buried by the Odinson family.

Another addition to the MCU, blending in to the existing universe seamlessly, this time it took Thor, a not-so-interesting member of the Avengers, Earths mightiest heroes and finally made a movie worthy of him; his name wasn't on the title of the movie, he took centre-stage. Full of laughs and inside jokes (some you'd only understand if you've been along for the ride since the first Iron Man). Then again, Thor and The Hulk finally get to throw down! Let that sink in!

There wasn't a lot of Hela to get on with, the big baddie in the movie seemed to just appear even if her backstory was made known. It never described how Hulk came to Sakaar from Earth, and neither did they show The Enchantress, whom with Skurge have a very strong comic book relationship.

Ant-Man is supposedly the funniest guy in the MCU but Thor does a home run in this movie with quips and puns - 8/10

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Review

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

In the 28th century, special operatives Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline work together to maintain order throughout the human territories. Under assignment from the minister of defense, the duo embarks on a mission to Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis where diverse species gather to share knowledge and culture. When a dark force threatens the peaceful city, Valerian and Laureline must race against time to identify the menace that also jeopardizes the future of the universe. The film is based on the French science fiction series Valérian and Laureline, written by Pierre Christin and illustrated by Jean-Claude Mézières, first published in 1967 in the Pilote magazine.

Valerian and Laureline

Visually captivating with beautifully done CGI, Luc Besson fleshes out the buried story of Valerian in a very unique way, with intricate detail and masterful art directory. Unfortunately, Valerian seems to be lacking something to set it apart from other Sci-Fi franchises despite making way for franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars. It doesn't learn the lesson that John Carter did, which is trying not so much to look or sound like the other franchises. However, the problem stems from the fact that it may look like a copy of already existing franchises, when in fact was one of the pioneers of the as Sci-Fi genre. 

The movie seemed rushed; it didn't give us, the watchers, enough to time to learn more about the main characters and even fall in with them, sometimes it was a bit dry with a lot of forced comedy and a cliché ending.It is a good watch either alone or with friends on a movie night - 6/10

Stranger Things 2 Review

Stranger Things 2

Stranger Things 2 does well to follow up the foundation already laid and as a sequel, it also surprisingly does well on its own not relying so much on the first entry; maintaining certain connections but going on its own path

Thrown back in to the 80's in the little town of Hawkins, Indiana, Stranger Things 2 continues with the story of the party of young friends consisting, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, Mike Wheeler and Will Myers, who share a bond which is even much stronger after surviving previous events in Stranger Things. Even though Eleven is no longer with them, they navigate through their daily lives before more stranger events occur.

It is fluid continuation from the first season, solid follow-up story being assisted with a very well-picked 80's soundtrack to paint an ambient picture of the times, subtle references to the previous show without it preventing the new show from existing on its own.

The only few cons were the unanswered questions as well as the neglect of the story arcs that could not just connect, leaving us the watchers scratching our heads.

All-in-all it is worth the binge! There's no better way to experience it. 8/10.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Review

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Another look into the deep and unseen part of the Uncharted mythos, this time the story takes you to a war-torn India to find a treasure which has been deemed a myth, The Tusk of Ganesh.

Set within six to twelve months after the events of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, The Lost Legacy explores the backstory of long time Uncharted femme fatale, Chloe Frazer. In search of The Tusk of Ganesh, she partners up with Nadine Ross, an antagonist from the previous game in a quest to finish what her father died trying to.

The narrative  reveals deeper sides to each character as they interact with one another, Chloe and Nadine begin to have an ever evolving relationship as they continue to work together overcoming obstacles and even their own egos. Starting out as a relationship founded strictly on a quick cash-grab, the ladies begin to  build a heartfelt bond with one another. Their differences also play a part in the story, Chloe being more improv and Nadine being more logical. The central theme of Uncharted has always been about the teamwork between two different characters and how they work together to achieve a singular goal, this title shells out well in showing how two very different women can also make the dream work.

Chloe and Nadine

There isn't much that was wrong about this title, just that it might have been too short for an Uncharted title, seemed like it was a DLC turned whole game (also has the same menu and features as Uncharted 4: A Thief's End bar the Story).

It was nice to play a female character for a change, it was refreshing and does not only succeed on the strength of its character and writing, it transcends the threshold of a performance already set in stone by the previous Uncharted 4: A Thief's End 10/10

The Defenders Review

Marvel's The Defenders puts together the Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, a set of unlikely characters against a common enemy, The Hand, the criminal organisation responsible for different tragic events occurring in the life of the four main characters, forcing them to put their differences aside for the greater good of New York.

The Defenders.

Daredevil - "blinded as a child in a freak accident, Matt Murdock has learned to adapt and use his other senses to make him a powerful fighter as the vigilante Daredevil. When not in the streets he's a lawyer at his own firm."

Iron Fist - " A billionaire and a well-studied master of Chinese martial arts, Danny Rand holds the ability to summon the Iron Fist when he focuses his energy, granting him short-term superhuman abilities and powerful punch."

Jessica Jones - "Super-strong with a razor sharp attitude, Jessica is a retired superhero with a traumatic past. Since then she's turned to detective work as her main source of income, using her smarts to bring criminals to justice."

Luke Cage - "A man of few words, Luke Cage boasts incredible strength and unbreakable skin capable of withstanding everything from knives to bullets." (IGN)

Using a good flashback-flashforward format, the show does well to portray the connection between Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones, Danny Rand, Luke Cage and The Hand. The Hand, the criminal entity led by Alexandra (Sigourney Weaver), becoming ever present in New York, seeking to seize the city under the nose of the Avengers. Seizing the city seems to be their singular goal, until wanting only Danny Rand alive among the four raises questions.

The show succeeds in mixing all themes of the different individual shows of the four members that worked into one well balanced unit, giving the chance for every one of the characters to shine individually and as a team. As usual there are exciting and realistic combat scenes. The central plot is convincing all the way to the end. However, it is still very unclear about the history of The Hand; the members of The Hand and their different histories, if they've lived for quite a long time, although you could say that they kept those cards close to their chest to facilitate material they'd use in following season's to come. After watching, you will be left with some question about the show, that seem more like plot holes.

All in all, it is a decent watch, you get a deeper view into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Supes wrecking henchmen and some banter as well - 7/10.

Things we learnt from Marvel's The Defenders:

The Defenders don't know how to treat an Old Lady
The African Warlord cliché still reigns supreme in Hollywood

Danny Rand is still an idiot 

Luke Cage brings an arm to a sword fight

A cut from a Katana can get missing in a few days

Supes don't bathe for days
